Whenever you post anything in public (art, music, writing) in a venue that's geared toward constructive critique - be prepared for people to voice their opinion. There wasn't anything mean or viscous about your work in my comment. On the contrary - I've been making custom toys since 2007, and sometimes like sharing the knowledge I've gained with people. Your work looked like it could be improved, so I suggested some things you can do, and materials to get that will help you make better figure in the future.
If you're looking for a website where everyone just says your work is awesome, and never says anything that can hurt your feelings? Those places don't really exist. There's a difference between criticism and critique though - it's good to understand that when you post your work online.
Regarding your 2nd comment: If you're trying to replicate that rough textured look - sculpt with Aves, and smooth it out with just a small bit of water. Wait about 30 minutes, then use a rocking/stamping motion with a rough sanding sponge. It creates an amazing texture that you can then tweak with sculpting tools.
Best of luck with your future projects.
